About this network

ASN of ETRI (ETRI-AS-KR), South Korea's government-funded Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, based in Daedeok Innopolis, Daejeon.

What it's used for

• Research networking for ETRI's laboratories: telecommunications, semiconductor, networking, and information-technology R&D.
• Announces a large legacy IPv4 range (roughly a /16 worth of space) serving the institute's campus and research programmes.

Notable

• Research-institute address space, not commercial: hosts, labs, and testbeds rather than customers.
• Registered under ARIN despite being a Korean organisation. That is a legacy artifact: the resources were handed out before APNIC took over the Asia-Pacific region, so the records stayed where they were first created.

Interesting

• ETRI was central to Korea's early networking work, including the country's first internet-protocol networking efforts, and it went on to be a major contributor to Korean broadband and mobile technology development. A four-digit AS number fits an organisation that was connected early.
